GETTING STARTED

What is the SecurePyro system?

SecurePyro UK is a professional wireless firework firing system designed for safe, reliable, and flexible control of pyrotechnics and special effects. Using advanced VPyro modules connected through our SecurePyro mobile app, operators can plan, test, and fire cues directly from their smartphone or tablet. The system is ideal for professional fireworks displays, wedding fireworks, and large-scale pyromusicals, giving precise control over timing and safety through 3-Stage Technology™ ARM, real-time igniter testing, and a robust Mesh network connection between modules.

How do I connect my VPyro module to the SecurePyro App?
To connect: Power on your VPyro module using the main switch. Open the SecurePyro App on your smartphone or tablet. Ensure Bluetooth is enabled and select ‘Search Devices.’ When your module appears, tap to connect — a green status indicator will confirm a successful link. Once connected, your module and cues can be named, tested, and armed directly within the app. For best results, keep your device within 5–10 metres during initial pairing.
Which devices are compatible with the SecurePyro App?
The SecurePyro App is compatible with both iOS (Apple) and Android devices. We recommend iOS 12 or later and Android 9 or later for stable performance. The app is optimised for smartphones and tablets, giving pyrotechnicians flexibility whether programming a show or firing live.
What is the Bluetooth and Mesh connection range?
Each VPyro module can communicate with your mobile device up to 100 metres line-of-sight. Using Mesh Technology, up to 10 modules can be linked together, allowing communication across extended areas — perfect for large venues or multi-position fireworks displays. The Mesh automatically relays signals between modules, ensuring consistent connectivity even in challenging environments.

HARDWARE AND SETUP

What SecurePyro models are available?

SecurePyro UK offers a professional range of firing modules, including VPyro – 5-cue, XPyro 10-cue – due for release in 2026, and 20-cue configurations in the design stages, along with igniters, receivers, battery packs, and accessories. Each module is engineered with a rugged, splash-resistant case, heavy-duty connectors, and built-in self-testing features for reliability in all weather conditions. Full specifications and pricing can be found in the SecurePyro UK 2025 Catalogue.

How long does the battery last and how do I charge it?

VPyro modules use a 12.6 V lithium-ion battery pack offering up to 5 hours of continuous operation on a full charge. XPyro modules will allow up to 13 hours of use on a full charge. To charge, connect the supplied charger to the charge port until the indicator light turns green. Always charge batteries before each event and avoid storing units in extreme temperatures to maintain optimal performance.

Are SecurePyro modules weatherproof?

Yes — each unit is designed for outdoor professional use. The rugged splashproof casing protects against light rain, humidity, and dust. For heavy weather conditions, position modules under minimal cover where possible. All connectors and ports are sealed to prevent moisture ingress.

Can I link multiple SecurePyro modules together?

Yes. Using SecurePyro’s MESH Technology, you can link up to 10 modules to one smartphone or tablet, allowing multi-position firing zones and synchronised displays. Modules automatically assign a unique ID and can be grouped or fired individually within the app.

How do I test my igniters before firing?

In the SecurePyro App, use the Igniter Test function to perform a safe continuity check. This sends a low-voltage current through each cue, confirming igniter connection without initiating a fire. Cues that pass the test will be marked as active (typically shown in green). Always test every cue before arming the system to ensure safety.
